Emirates comanda inca 36 de Airbus-uri A380, salvand astfel programul
La preturi de lista, cele 36 de superjumbo-uri comandate astazi (20 de comenzi ferme + 16 optiuni) valoreaza 16 miliarde de dolari. Avioanele vor fi livrate din 2020.
Fara aceasta comanda EK, Airbus ar fi fost nevoit sa inchida programul A380 dupa livrarea exemplarelor comandate pana acum de clientii din intreaga lume. Emirates are deja 101 A380-uri in serviciul comercial si trebuie sa primeasca inca 41 din comenzile anterioare. Cele 178 de A380-uri Emirates valoareaza peste 60 de miliarde de dolari. Operatorul din Dubai nu a selectat inca motoarele (GE sau Rolls-Royce) pentru cele 36 de superjumbo-uri comandate astazi. In prezent, flota EK numara 269 avioane widebody (Airbus A380 si Boeing 777).
Pana acum, 222 de A380-uri au fost livrate catre 13 companii aeriene si peste 200 de milioane de pasageri au zburat la bordul unuia. La fiecare doua minute, un A380 decoleaza sau aterizeaza pe unul dintre cele 240 de aeroporturi din intreaga lume unde opereaza.
La Dubai Airshow 2017, Emirates a anuntat o comanda pentru 40 de Boeing-uri 787-10 Dreamliner.

"This new order underscores Airbus’ commitment to produce the #A380 at least for another 10 years. I’m personally convinced more orders will follow @Emirates’ example & that this great aircraft will be built well into the 2030s.” John Leahy, Airbus COO Customers https://t.co/hyWIRDg4cP
